Create Zelda-like skills with C++ in unreal engine 5

Please read requirement first, learners need to have basic understanding of C++.

Or I recommend you take basic level C++ course first.

Welcome to "Create Zeldar-like skills with C++ in unreal engine 5"! You will learn how to create a skill framework which can handle various abilities including remote bomb, magnesis, stasis and ice actor, and basic locomotion states such as sprinting, gliding and exhausted states. I prepared reference projects for every lesson so when you are stuck in any lesson you can freely download them and compare your own project with them! Don't worry about making mistakes, learn from them!

In the first section, we're going to setup project and implement basic locomotion states for player character from scratch in C++. With enhanced input system and locomotion manage, these customized actions will be triggered when player character meets certain conditions. For example, once player character is falling from high place and having enough stamina, gliding action is available. If stamina is depleted, player character cannot jump, sprint or gliding anymore.

Secondly, we will design and create a powerful framework to manage various skills before any skill creation. Only one skill could be activated at one time. Thanks to the convienient communication between blueprint and c++ in unreal engine, we can easily transfer information from UI to our code base. It is the best way to take advantage of them. Blueprint is more convenient for visual design and c++ is more performant for game in general.

Thirdly, we're focus on several kinds of different skills including remote bombs, magnesis, stasis and ice actor spawning. In remote bomb skill, a bomb will be spawned and player character can throw it out. When it explodes on breakable wall, it will crash and if it explodes on grass, a tempory wind tunnel will be spawned, which might be helpful for player to solve puzzles in the game. Sure I will introduce more details in the course. Though their logics are totally different, they all in the same skill framework so developer can easily add new skill types.

At last, several useful gameplay object will be implemented for better play experience. Those objects must be compatible with skill framework. For example, interactable object such as rock will be added. When player is holding a rock but trying to activate a skill, this rock must be dropped first. Similarly, pressure plate, wind tunnel, breakable walls will be implemented.
